1. GK

2. CD

3. CB

4. CM

5. CM/AM

I bet we all have goalkeepers we have had at the club for fifteen seasons or so that barely played a game. The sadness of being a reserve keeper.

Getting paid thousands a week to get the best seats in the house with absolutely no responsibility?  That's my dream job.

I always have one, but never use them.  Can't bring myself you have a bench without one

Who was the English keeper who was at Man City for years and never played? I think he finally got released last year as in the end he wasn't even training.

[Rob]

Stuart Taylor?

My back up keeper is typically a free agent I rotate every season tbf, I rarely have a solid back up.

Richard Wright. £350K a year, never played from 2012 to last year!

[Jack]

Only for the big cup finals do I even contemplate it. Other than that I try to aim to have 1 defender (as versatile as possible), 2 central midfielders, 2 wingers, an attacking midfielder and a striker on my bench.

So next question.

Would you all rather earn 350k a year but never play or earn 100k a year and play 200 games for a lower league team?

with my football skills £350K and never play is the only option 

[mcandrew003]

I never tend to as it's  so rare I don't see the point. Goalkeepers are probably the least likely to get injured and why not have a solid bench for when a more common injury could strike? 

My usual bench is:

1. CB

2. Fullback 

3. CM

4. CM

5. RW

6. LW

7. ST

So many knobheads actually spend time picking a bench, such amateurs

Myself and @Ashez the only people with any sense on this site. Long live the assistant.

[DIRECTFX]

Never had to use one in last 2 years games.. 

only switch em for Cups/Europe

Subs are basically auditioning for a starting spot every chance they get minutes on the pitch. Being potential future starters they deserve to be treated with a little more respect

Ahh, in that case less credit to the two of you and more to the assistant

The Assman is king!! 

When you don't know the clear all select all sub trick and your keeper is sent off

Almost never as I usually manage quite large squads and need to fit both impact players and rotators on the bench. Still to experience an in-game injury to a keeper in the latest two versions of FMM, so fingers crossed it'll continue.

I think most men can make a decision between the 2 and I'm sure this is one occasion that Sam will give a s**t.

The only time Sam gives that is when he's been out for dinner

I always rotate keepers. Typically keep 2 first team keepers with a large age gap, so I'll eventually phase the older one out.
